{"product_id":"oblivion","title":"Oblivion","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith the previous 3 out of 4 LP's appearing on Ninja Tune. Across a suite of downtempo, broken beat, bubbling grooves and brooding reveries Archie Fairhurst threads a narrative that wrestles with the big questions of the present moment — the tipping points of the planet and technology, the fight for social justice and the power structures that govern our existence. While his trademark source material continues to cast a long line back through recorded history, this is Romare at his most contextual.\n\u003cbr\u003eNothing is placed by accident. 'Machines' hums its throbbing 4\/4 pulse along to a German language recital of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 'Blessed Longing' — an enduring reflection on the human condition that rings true from way back in the 19th Century when it was written. 'Computer Love' slinks into a sumptuous trip-hop lull laced with sci-fi flourishes sculpted from samples of old computer documentaries — a bittersweet romantic backdrop to our complicated situationship with the devices in our lives. 'Take Us' goes one step further on its hard-stepping boom-bap strut as a subtle tale of possession by screens unfolds around Romare's signature strain of technicolour mutant funk.\n\u003cbr\u003eThere is space for optimism in the message on Oblivion as well — the strength of the suffragettes as a benchmark for social justice and activism amidst the speakeasy slink of ‘Deeds, Not Words', and spring-loaded acid house joint 'Change' pointing to the need for positive action in the face of imminent calamity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capsule Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58899828343165,"sku":"ALLYOUSEE001","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/3826\/8152\/files\/li1_f87d3653-3f4c-4133-bb39-0e210026985e.jpg?v=1792053600","url":"https:\/\/capsulerecords.co.uk\/products\/oblivion","provider":"Capsule Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
